I really liked the idea, I liked the characters, and the cinematography too (except the naff green-screen boat shots). But I think it needed stricter editing — things took a long time to develop. More importantly the ending just didn't happen, I wanted more.

So I seriously founds this and thought ‘A movie about the beginning of cricket in India - yay!’.

But just to reinforce all the cricket stereotypes & cliches ("play for 5 days for a draw?!") it then proceeds to drag on and on and on and just fucking shoot me. Quite a lot like a five day test match between two teams who are both so desperate to avoid losing they can't get their heads around the concept of just playing the damn game.

The random Bollywood dancing & singing — all good. But badly needed a ruthless editor to make it about 90 minutes shorter.
